HUGE WHEAT CROP ALMOST CERTAI Covernment Predictions Winter Ylek be Bumper Crop i Natlion's History 'Washington, May 2.-aPrediction ol the department of ugriculture for c wheat crop this year even larger thar the record breaking crop of 1914 wat repeated today by the United Statet chamber of commerce in a report, or statistics obtained from ail section of the country. The report state ,that an acreage never before equallet bad 'been .planted and a yield of 900, 000,000 bushels was forecasted. "The condition of the winter wheal is so high as to be without preceden1 or parallel" the report said, "It is, it fact, a monotone of perfectibn. Th< plant cane through the winter an the trying month of March unscath ed and unhurt. In many hections o1 the west and southwest it was neces sary to pasture it to live stock to keel down its rank growth. "Reports of damage are mostly re markable -by their entire absence NI-ere rumors of Hessian fly -and somi stray predatory insects, but that I. all. Unless some climatic catastrophe or some Egyptian like and unexpectc plague or insects Intervene, the ylelc will probably be 900.000,000 bushe1l or about 33 per cent more than th< great rarvest of 1914." The report stated that one inter eating sidelight of the situation ewai that about 25 per cent of the yield would be South of the Mason and Dixon line. Southern states whici never before grew winter wheat this year have large acreages planted, i1 was said, 'Reports showed that th< seeding of spring wheat had been de layed from ten days to 'two weeks b5 excessive rains, andt a decrease of th acreage as compared with last year was expected.

Is there a soul in this town who has a iword to say against it? 'If there is, let him say that word to the first soldier or the first sailor, or the first marine he meets-and see what will happen, says Annie Laurie in the San Francisco ilOxaminer. The red jersey and the pole bonnet look all. right to us here in America today--but just thihk how they looked to our 'boys in the trenches over there in France when there was fighting to do. tRight in the very Jaws of death they went--Salvation Julia and Salvation Tom, and all the rest of the men and women in the red Jersey and the poke bonnet-they brought their kettle of hot lard straight up into the firing line and fried raway as if they were at home in their own kitchen, and oh, the smell of that. coffee when a fellow crept back from No 'Man's Land faint and sick and cold to the very marrow of his bones. Forget The Salvation Army? (Never, never while memory shall live. ISome of the people who didn't know much about The Army were a little surprised to hear of the things they did. I wasn't-I knew them-I've known them for years. Once a long time ago, when I thought anything that was noisy was funny, I joined The Salvation Army right here in San Francisco. I thought it would make a gooi story for the paper-and I had the time of my life marching up 'Market street, beating tambourine and whooping "Come to Glory" at the top of my voice-and all my friends came down to the corner of Grant avenue and Market street to see us go by, night after night--but somehow, after the first night of marching I couldn't laugh ,when our leader begap to pray, and it didn't seem funny to me at all -when some poor derelict in rags lurched through the crowd and tried to make a maudlin speech-I'd been with The Army up and down the water front and in and out of the resorts on the Barbary coast and up to the jail-and there was nothing humorous at. all In the pale faces that grew bright when they heard the jingle of the queer old poke bonnet that meant hope and hu manity an( human love and human companionship to them. And time and time and again in the years that passed since the fli'st time I put on a poke 'bonnet just for fin I've tried to get some poor girl in bitter trouble a refuge somewhere in this very town andi In Chicago and in New York, and in Denver, and In Kansas, City-and when every other place was too crowded or too busy or too anxious about the nationality or the race or the creed of the poor frightened, heartsick, trembiIng girl I could1( always flfnd a place for her to hide somuewhegre, somehow in the keeping of a Iplain little w'oman in The Salvation Army uniform.
